The Neighborhood’s Night – Page 4

Here’s the second illustration for the book project I just finished for Learning A-Z. Page 4 of The Neighborhood’s Night by Juliana Catherine. This scene is in a cloud to show that it’s a flashback to the previous day when they family had all packed their emergency supplies in preparation to evacuate if the fires got too near. You can see a collection of emergency supplies laid out on the floor ready to be packed into duffle bags, one per person. Mama is putting a tag on little Amir’s ankle so that he can be reunited with the family if he gets separated.

Inktober 2020 #30 – Ominous

I considered several possibilities to answer this prompt, but you know what? Sometimes the less you know, the worse it could be.

A two panel comic.  The first panel shows eyes in the dark, wide open with pupils contracted.  A thought bubble reads, "IT'S QUIET..."  The second panel shows eyes in the dark, narrowed with suspicion.  A thought bubble reads, in smaller text, "TOO QUIET."

Perception – Final Version

Okay, so does this work or not?  I was thinking perhaps it could use some more vague figures looming behind the four in the thought bubble, but I’m not sure.  I’m sending this one out for publication (I hope) and I want it as strong as possible.  Do you see anything that needs work?   Is the idea clear?
